Lobster waffles
The pinnacle of luxury breakfasts. The sweet, firm meat of lobster and the buttery softness of waffle form an elegant pair. This dish is a refined reimagining of the classic 'Lobster Roll', where the soft bun is replaced by a freshly baked, crispy waffle. Recommended for special occasions, champagne breakfasts.

Instructions
1
✓
Prepare the basic waffle batter: mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt), then work in milk, egg, and melted butter until lump-free.
Tip: For savoury waffles, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter for extra piquancy.
2
✓
Cook waffles until golden brown in the hot iron.
Tip: Crispiness is key here to counterbalance the creamy lobster salad.
3
✓
Cut the lobster meat into rough chunks (not too small, so you feel the bite).
Tip: Lobster fibres are delicate, cut with a sharp knife, don't crush.
4
✓
Mix lobster with mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped chives, and pepper.
Tip: Lemon acidity 'cuts through' the mayonnaise richness and highlights seafood flavour.
5
✓
Heap the salad onto fresh baked waffles and serve immediately.
Tip: Decorate with lemon slices and fresh herbs.
